From A No Name To A Lovato

CH 3

We walked back into the house and soon something or should I say someone was attached to my legs. "Hi Tyler." I said looking down. "Waven." He said putting his arms out to me. I bet down and picked him up. "Were you good for them?" I asked him. "Yes." He said. "Tyler, where'd you go?" Demi asked from another room. "Do you want me to help hide you?" I asked. "Yes." He said. I saw a closet and hid him in there with a coat on top of him.

Demi came into the room with Maddie, Dianna, and Eddie following her. "Have you seen Tyler?" Demi asked. "No. Why?" I asked. "We are playing hide and seek." Maddie said. "Now we can't find him." Demi added. "I think I saw him run into the garage when I came in." I said. "Thank you." Demi said. Demi and Maddie started to head out to the garage, but Dianna and Eddie stayed in the living room. "Why didn't you two go with them?" I asked. "We were just trying to help them find Tyler." Dianna said. "Do not tell them anything." I said looking at Dianna and Eddie. "Why are Demi and Maddie in the garage screaming Tyler's name?" Dallas asked. I walked over to the closet and got Tyler out. "They are playing hide and seek." I said. "He was in the closet?" Dallas asked. "Well I helped him in there." I said. Dianna and Eddie both started to laugh. "When I came in here, he ran straight at my legs. Then Demi yelled for him and I asked him if he wanted me to hide him. So, when he said yes I hid him in the closet with a coat over him." I said. "Let's find my bedroom Tyler." I said. "I can help. Demi showed me where it would be." Dianna said.

Dianna showed me to my room and then told me how to get to Demi's room. "How do you like our mommy?" I asked Tyler. "She's pwetty. She's vewy nice." Tyler said. "What do you fink?" Tyler asked. "Mommy seems pretty cool. She also seems very trustworthy." I said. Just then Tyler yawned and slightly closed his eyes. "Do you want to go to sleep?" I asked. He shook his head and then fell asleep. I put him down on the bed and tucked him in. "You are very good with him." Demi said. I jumped a little not knowing she was there. "Yeah." I said. "So, I'm just pretty cool?" Demi asked. "Yep. I know I asked this before, but I just want to make sure you haven't changed your mind. Can I call you mom?" I asked. Demi's eyes lit up like a light and a huge smile slowly went across her face. "Yes." She said. I got up from the bed and hugged her. "Thank you for giving me a mom and family." I whispered. "No problem." She whispered back. "Now come on; pizza is here and so are the drinks." Demi said. "Any specific movie you want to watch?" Demi asked. "Any horror film is fine with me." I said.

Demi picked out a horror film with me while we were walking down the stairs. When we got into the living room, I saw everyone had pizza already. "Couldn't even wait for us?" Demi asked. "Nope." Maddie said. Maddie sent me a glare, but I still could care less for her. Demi sat down next to Maddie and tapped the spot on her right. I sat next to her on her right and then soon Dallas walked over to sit next to me. "What are we watching?" Dallas asked. "It." I said. "Scary movie?" Maddie asked. "Yep." I said with a smirk. "You probably will get scared and won't be able to finish the movie." Maddie said. I didn't say anything back to her, but instead cuddled into Dallas.

After the movie, everyone was on edge; checking everything, making sure everything was safe and so forth. Me not so much. I have dealt with worse things than a scary movie. I had to watch a friend of mine get shot protecting me. Now that was scary. "Hey you okay?" Demi asked looking at me. "Yeah. I'm fine." I said. "Then why are you crying?" She asked. Now I probably looked very shocked because I normally don't cry in front of others. "I was thinking." I said. "About what?" Demi asked. "Things that happened in the past." I said. "Do you want to talk about it?" She asked. "No." I said. "Well let's go to sleep." She said. "Demi, can I sleep with you?" Maddie asked. "Sure. Will you be alright, Raven?" Demi asked. "Yeah." I said. "I could always stay with her." Dallas said. Dianna and Eddie both went to a guest room before the movie started. "That's fine with me." Demi said. Maddie and Demi both went upstairs while Dallas and I were still in the living room. "I'm not going to bed." I said. "What?" Dallas asked. "I need to go somewhere." I said. "I'll take you there, but where are we going?" She asked. "A graveyard." I said. "Couldn't have picked a beach?" She asked. "She isn't buried at a beach." I said. I think I saw many emotions go through Dallas's eyes. "What happened?" Dallas asked. "An older girl I was very close to was shot protecting me. She was pulled into drugs and alcohol by one of the other older girls. This friend ended up in major debt, I guess you can call it that, with her dealer and when he found I meant the world to he came after me. One day he was able to get me away from the center, and planned on me never going back. He was going to make her watch me die, but before he pulled the trigger she put me behind her." I said. "How old were you?" She asked. "Six." I said. "I'm sorry you had to have that happen to you." She said. "It's one reason I'm able to not get scared by horror films." I said. "I can give you the name of the graveyard." I said. "That'll be nice." She said. "St. Leo's cemetery. It's near Hollywood." I said. "Okay." She said. "Found the address, now let's go." She said.
